    "REG DELETE" from CMD prompt. Ran into a problem...


    Trying to use the following syntax from the cmd prompt:

    REG DELETE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT /v <two words seperated by a space> /t REG_MULTIZ_SZ /d <a specific line of text contained within the reg_multi_sz string>


    what's the correct syntax since when I write the above I get a 'syntax error'?

    To clarify: the REG_MULTI_SZ string I'm trying to modify has a name comprised of two words separated by a space.

    Further: It contains multiple entries. I'm trying to delete one specific entry from within it.

    Even further: Even if it were to contain only one entry, I'm trying to delete that specific entry while leaving the actual REG_MULTI_SZ string in existence, but empty.

    :)

  2. Are cmd prompts the same on windows 10 as they are in 8

    Hi Marcus,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    Yes, the command prompt in Windows 10 is same as Windows 8. You can open the Command prompt by following methods.

    • Press Windows key + X and click on Command prompt.
    (OR)

    • Press Windows Key + X and click on Command prompt (admin) to open
      cmd with admin privileges.
    (OR)

    • Press Windows key + R, type cmd and hit
      Enter
      .

    Please let us know if you are facing any issues with the command prompt. We'll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

  3. Numerous problems in W10

    Hi Linda,

    I would suggest you try the following steps and check:

    • Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
    • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannnow
    If the scans finish repairing and shows no errors, then run the following commands:

    • powershell

      Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    • Check to be sure this command ran, showed a blue progress indicator and then returns to the prompt.
    • If you see a red error, then the command may have been typed or pasted incorrectly, or there may be an larger problem with Windows 10. Try again.
    • Check to see if the issue is resolved.
